1997

SOIL VIDEO.Ride BMX UK april 1997: Soil is the new video by 'Barspinner' Ryan Brennan of Sheep Hills fame, and as it's a Sheep Hills Locals video, most of it centres around the finest jumping spots in America. Quality filming brings this video to life, quality music, quality editing: you get to follow some riders round the whole of Sheep. There's also San Diego jumps, Twin Palms, Las Vegas, Bo's, TV outtakes, awesome slowmo footage [Ricky Ratt pulls a TRIPLE barspin jump clean!], and even girl fights. Riders on this film include Sean Butler [this guy has so much style -with variations to spare], TJ Lavin [on TV], Ryan Brennan himself, the incredible Ricky Ratt, and total ruler Brian Foster who sticks his jumps solid. There's also the best crash section we've aver seen. Soil is an awesome video, so buy it.
